School Supplies Donation Drive
Donations accepted at Jeep Nite Out, Sunset At the Beach and our August Monthly Member's Meeting on 8/3.
The kids will be heading back to in-person classrooms starting 8/10 and the Salvation Army's Hope House will be there to help our less fortunate Nassau County students with supplies. Many families are unable to purchase the essential items that students need to succeed, so let's help them out!
Some of the supplies needed include backpacks, binders, crayons (24-pk), pocket dictionary, folders (clasp & two pocket), glue sticks, Elmers glue, highlighters, markers, graph paper, notebook paper (both narrow & wide ruled), pencil cases, colored pencils, pens, rulers, scissors (pointed & safety), spiral notebooks, staplers and subject dividers.
Eight Flags Jeep Club is currently putting together a Jeep Club CERT Team.
This "Community Emergency Response Team" can assist local law enforcement as civilian volunteers by contributing their time, vehicles and off-road skills. Jeeps can help cover terrain that would be inaccessible to most patrol vehicles. Interested club members- please email Laura at 8flagsjeepclub@gmail.com
Great turnout! Thanks everyone for all the donations

What a great evening! George, the owner of Dick's Wings opened the restaurant just for the Jeep Club and we filled the whole place. We collected a TON of back-to-school supplies for Hope House, learned more about forming an Eight Flags Jeep Club Cert team and had the biggest 50/50 raffle pot ever! We also had club member Paul Lore, from the FOAR From Home rowing team explain their mission to row across the Atlantic to raise awareness of Veteran's Suicide. Eight Flags donated the 50/50 proceeds to their cause, then matched it and Mike Ritter, our raffle winner, generously donated his proceeds as well.
